This has got me thinking and thinking beyond just what it is that is written. There are some meaningful lines here but the one that stood out for me was this:

Life is never a fully explained poetry,
that's why they write novels of it.

^^How true. Poetry can only go so much to explain but a novel has lots packed in it! Liked this read :)

Hmmm, Shanky, you got it. Just a smoke explains what it means. Shinning while ugly, walking while stagnant. Life is unquantifable

Awesome piece Shanky,

love the tone of this piece,

nominated

good luck

Beautiful.

Congrats on winning a HM for this write!

Judging Comment:

There is much to take from this poem, I don't
even know where to start. It also points out the
limitations of writing a poem versus a story/novel.

We try hard to keep the message, make it a
smooth read and at the same time add meaning to
a poem; whereas a novel gives the reader access
to everything. But there are still some secrets that
not all writes can bring out nor label a person saying this is how she/he lived or is. There is depth to this write and the writer's voice can be heard. My
favorite line in this:

Life is never a fully explained poetry,
that's why they write novels of it.

Loved this read.
